| Israel border closure due to coronavirus 'like Holocaust' – Chinese embassy |
| 2020-02-02 |
| "These people are literally Hitler!" [Jpost] The decision by Israel to close its borders to visitors from China due to the spread of the coronavirus is "reminiscent of the Holocaust," the Chinese Embassy to Israel said on Sunday, according to Channel 13. "This is reminiscent of World War II, the Holocaust, the darkest days of human history," said the embassy. "Millions of Jews were murdered and many were banned from entering countries. Some countries opened their gates, one of them was China." The decision comes as Chinese people around the world have been impacted by racism in light of the spread of the Novel Coronavirus that began in Wuhan, China, and has now infected 14,628 people worldwide and killed 305 people. The first death outside of China was reported on Sunday, according to Reuters. In Indonesia, residents have demanded that Chinese visitors leave hotels. In South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and Vietnam, restaurants have refused to serve Chinese customers, according to Channel 13. |

| #5 I think China had no idea what the Holocaust was all about, but is happy to invoke it to see if it gets them what they want. |

| #4 That would be pre-commie China. As far as open borders, is that a hat tip to the Japanese or Flying Tigers? |

| #3 Actually, the compare the closure with countries not accepting Jews fleeing Nazi Germany, Steve. That is, they're saying these people are refugees. |

| #2 Is Chinese food big in Israel? (don't say Panda Express!) Seems like a popular thing in Jewish communities here. I do like how the ChiComs blame the border closings on racism. They have learned to play the game well. |
